CHAPTER THREE
ELECTRICAL
1. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to motor before working on electrical connections.
2. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripping indicates electrical problem. If GFCI trips and won’t reset, consult
electrician to inspect and repair electrical system.
i WARNING Fire Hazard
3. Match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage.
Insure that the electrical supply available is compatible with the motor’s voltage, phase, and cycle, and that the wire size is
adequate for the H.P. (KW) rating and distance from the power source.
NOTE - All electrical wiring MUST be performed by a licensed electrician, and MUST conform to local and national codes.
Use copper conductors only.
4. Voltage
Voltage at motor MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below motor name plate rated voltage, or motor may overheat,
causing overload tripping and reduce component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage when
motor is running at full load, consult your electrician.
5. Electrical connection
Install and wire motor in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements. All wiring standards including
general wiring procedures MUST conform to local and national codes. Contact an electrician for rules and regulations
i WARNING –All wiring must be done by a licensed electrician
6. Wiring
Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add
their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the load circuit breaker as the Master On-Off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit; it will sense a short-circuit to ground and disconnect power before
it becomes dangerous to pool users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see manufacturer’s instructions.
In case of a power outage, check GFCI for tripping, which may prevent normal pump operation. Reset if necessary.
Connect only to grounding type receptacle protected by a class A Ground fault circuit interrupter
7. For protection against possible electric shock use only identical replacement parts when servicing.
